Chapter 46 Uzuki Yugao's Questioning
Chapter 46 Uzuki Yugao's Questioning
With a soft laugh from Uzuki Yugao, the sound of the bamboo sword cutting through the air suddenly became much sharper. Shingetsu Seiun dared not be careless, focusing all his attention on dealing with the opponent's attack.
"Bang bang bang!!!!!!~" The sound of bamboo knives clashing together rang out again in the courtyard.
Uzuki Yugao's attacks were dense and her moves were agile. Under her onslaught, Kamitsuki Seiun was suppressed and had no time to breathe. Occasionally, her bamboo sword would break through her defenses and touch her body, causing her slight pain.
Of course, if he were to unleash his power to withstand the opponent's momentary attack and use his male strength advantage to push past, victory would certainly be assured. However, that would violate the original purpose of swordsmanship sparring.
So far, the system has only given him ability rewards; there has been no mention of experience points for fighting enemies yet.
Thanks to his excellent physical reflexes, Shingetsu Seiun managed to hold on for a while. After some time, he sensed that Uzuki Yugao's strength and speed were gradually weakening.
Knowing that his opponent was starting to run out of energy, his eyes lit up, and he was about to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, but Uzuki Yugao suddenly jumped back.
"Alright, alright."
"Senior Xingyun, are you really planning to hit me hard?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "Please, I'm the one who's always getting beaten up, okay?"
Uzuki Yugao put down her bamboo sword, clasped her hands together somewhat embarrassedly, and said, "I'm sorry, senpai. I didn't expect you to react so quickly. I got so excited that I just focused on attacking and forgot about everything else."
Shenyue Xingyun: "Then let's continue."
"I have to give it back."
Uzuki Yugao smiled with narrowed eyes, threw down the bamboo sword and approached Shinzuki Seiun: "No, senpai."
"You're so strong, what if you break it again?"
"How about I make it up to you somewhere else?"
Shenyue Xingyun's tactical lean back.
"Need not."
"I just want to fight back."
Uzuki Yugao said, "What's the point of fighting back?"
"How about I become your girlfriend?"
"If I become your girlfriend, maybe you'll come back to me?"
Shenyue Xingyun shook his head.
He admitted that for a moment, the image of Uzuki Yugao's suggestion flashed through his mind.
But it only lasted for a moment.
He doesn't lack that.
"Evening Glory".
"Let's not talk about that, let's have a proper swordsmanship match."
"I'm very interested in swordsmanship. How about I set aside any free time during this period to spar with you?"
How was it? Uzuki Yugao didn't think so.
She seemed somewhat unhappy with Shenyue Xingyun's rejection. So, she voiced her question.
"Senior Xingyun, why won't you agree to let me be your girlfriend?"
"It's a little embarrassing to say, but... from what I understand, you generally don't reject girls' advances, right?"
"Why can't I do it?"
Having witnessed the true form of the Divine Moon Nebula, Uzuki Yugao, now in hunting mode, certainly wouldn't fight an unprepared battle.
She also infiltrated the girls' gossip group and collected a lot of information about Shenyue Xingyun.
Leaving aside the old clichés about the "Hand of God" and "Peerless Beauty," there's also a lot of useful information.
For example, according to the experience summarized by "predecessors," as long as your looks are above average, you're unlikely to be rejected if you confess your feelings to Shenyue Xingyun. The prerequisite is that you can accept the stares and whispers from her numerous girlfriends and classmates.
Uzuki Yugao wasn't arrogant; from childhood to adulthood, based on her own perceptions and the reactions of her classmates and strangers, she knew very well that she was definitely not ugly.
No matter which class he was in, he would always be among the most good-looking.
So she came full of confidence. Unexpectedly, Shenyue Xingyun disagreed!
This is outrageous!
Faced with Yugao Uzuki's question, Seiun Kamitsuki felt a little embarrassed.
He did have a bigger appetite before.
But things are different now, and he couldn't explain the reasons for that too clearly.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Xiyan."
"I have no intention of accepting a new girlfriend right now. I'm sorry, we met at the wrong time."
"If only you had shown up sooner."
Faced with his explanation, Uzuki Yugao's lips twitched.
It tastes terrible.
If the other person hadn't been somewhat attractive, she would have definitely turned around and left.
But then again, what can you do when the other person is just so good-looking!
She asked, "Why?"
"Since you already have so many girlfriends, what difference would one more girlfriend make?"
Shingetsu Nebula: "I'm sorry."
"I really don't have any energy left."
"As you know, after becoming a genin, I'll be busier and busier. These girlfriends have already filled up my time and heart. I really don't have the energy to love anyone else."
Maoyue Xiyan: "(¬_¬)"
"Is both time and heart fully occupied?"
"Who was that person who was lying on the deck chair sunbathing when I came over just now?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "..."
Uzuki Yugao went a step further, moving closer to Shingetsu Seiun and staring intently into his eyes.
"Could it be... that I failed to summon Hayate?"
Shingetsu Nebula: "!!"
"What are you talking about!?"
Uzuki Yugao, however, gave off an expression that said, "I saw right through you all along."
She scoffed and said, "Don't think I don't know."
"Actually... I saw right through your plan!"
"Yesterday during the day, when I invited you to spar with me, you refused so firmly. And what happened?"
"You changed your mind as soon as Gale appeared."
"If Gale were here, would you agree to be my boyfriend?"
Shenyue Xingyun's face darkened: "Don't talk nonsense."
"How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"
Maoyuexi smiled.
"Senior Xingyun, I know more than just this."
"I also know that every now and then over the past two years, you've been surrounded by guys who say they're going to beat you to death and that you stole their girlfriends."
"Do you specifically target women who have boyfriends or suitors?"
Shenyue Xingyun's face darkened further.
"It's a coincidence! A coincidence!"
He wasn't lying; it really was a coincidence.
It's still because of the sheer number of students. Since he's still in school and wants to complete the system's 99 tasks, his school is definitely his first priority.
He also has requirements regarding appearance.
Think about it, most of the girls in school who are good-looking have had some kind of relationship with him. With so many good-looking girls, he must have had quite a few suitors and admirers.
He survived being surrounded thanks to his quick thinking and alertness, as well as the protection of his father who died in battle.
"Okay." Uzuki Yugao's tone became more serious: "Even so, I believe what you said is all a coincidence."
"What about the red beans!?"
"Red Bean likes you too! For a long time!"
"The red beans are still very pretty!"
"Why won't you agree?"
As Shingetsu Seiun was pondering how to answer, Uzuki Yugao spoke for him.
A glint of wisdom flashed in Uzuki Yugao's eyes: "Is it because Anko is so outgoing and energetic, like a tomboy, that no one in the class is pursuing her?"
"You didn't agree to date her because no one else was pursuing her?"
She stared intently into Shingetsu Nebula's eyes: "Because... you don't want what others don't want!"
"Am I right?"
